VINTAGE GOLDEN ALMANAC

I'd like to show you a fun
childrens book called The Golden Almanac.
It is considered a Big Golden Book and this
edition was published in 1946. The illustrations
by artist Masha are just adorable and it has
poems, stories, games and seasonal drawings.
This is the outside book cover with more
illustrations by Masha, the book cover is
showing a bit of wear and tear.

VINTAGE VERA TEXTILES 1960 -1970

VERA TEXTILES
I love color, and the more intensity the better.
I love stop sign red, school bus yellow and
electric blue! These are my top 3 favorite
colors. Today I am showing you bright,
colorful and fun textiles designed by the
famous VERA, (Veran Neuman) who was
well know for her OP ART Scarves and
kitchen textile designs from 1960 -1990's.

The first photo shows you the VERA
trademark tag :

Here's a lovely Red, Blue & Yellow dinner napkin. So colorful!

Next we have multiple green tones dinner
napkin with the Vera "ladybug" trademark.
I only have a set of four napkins of each pattern.

A Super blue & green floral patterned
dinner napkin.

A very bright red orange and brown floral
patterned dinner napkin.
A bright floral with foliage and fern pattern
dinner napkin. So pretty!

A pretty scarf, with Vera's favorite motif,
the butterfly in navy and white.
Last a paisley scarf that makes your eyes pop!
This scarf is a lot different than her naturalistic prints.
